North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (right) shakes hands with South delegation leader Chung Eui-yong in this photo released by North Korea's Korean Central News Agency March 6, 2018. While tensions have occasionally flared, the two sides have so far staved off another devastating conflict.

The troupe, led by Song Tao, head of the International Liaison Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, is visiting Pyongyang to participate in the April Spring Friendship Art Festival.

"He (Song Tao) said Xi Jinping is attaching very great importance to the joint agreement made with Kim Jong-un, expressing the will to deepen exchanges in the cultural and art field and other various fields", the KCNA said.

Thae Yong-ho was quoted on Monday as saying that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un "will drag on for two to three years" without dismantling his nuclear weapons "while waiting for the US president to be replaced".

Kim met Song on Saturday to exchange "deep thoughts" on worldwide issues of concern to North Korea and China and vowed to improve bilateral relations, according to the state media.

The report said the focus of the inter-Korean summit's agenda would be threefold: denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, a peace deal, and progress in inter-Korean relations.

Alibaba Group Holding Limited, (NYSE: BABA)Moors & Cabot has invested 0.04% of its portfolio in Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA). 4,515 are owned by State Bank Hapoalim Bm. The firm has "Buy" rating by Oppenheimer given on Wednesday, November 15. 53,114 were accumulated by Raymond James Trust Na.

Last November, Song visited North Korea as Xi's special envoy, but neither country's state-run media reported Song's meeting Kim, suggesting such a meeting did not happen. He returned to Beijing without meeting Kim, which was seen as a sign of their strained relations.

The news outlet added that China will make a final decision after observing the results of the planned US-North summit.

Their rapidly warming ties fuel concerns that the global sanctions regime against North Korea might be undermined.

Reclusive North Korea is pursuing nuclear and missile programmes in defiance of UN Security Council sanctions and has made no secret of its plans to develop a missile capable of hitting the United States mainland.

The communist state staged almost a dozen missile launches in less than seven months after Moon's inauguration, while also conducting its sixth and most powerful nuclear test so far in September. There, Kim agreed to meet the South Korean leader, as well as U.S. President Donald Trump, also saying his country will be willing to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for a security guarantee. Song, however, greeted Kim when he arrived in the Chinese border city of Dandong last month.
